Whereby-Whereas- Wherefore
SALES PROGRESSING
Junior Pins Selling Faster Than
Rings; P. Tischer, Chairman.
The sale of the junior rings and pins
has been progressing fairly satisfactorily. Orders have been taken for $104.50
up to the present. More pins have been
sold than rings.
Last year the rings had a Shortridge
seal on the background of blue, Indiana
seal on one side, and a sael
with the new Shortridge on the other.
Joe Coffin was chairman of the ring and
pin committee last year.
This year the pins are kite-shaped,
black, with a gold Shortridge seal; the
guard ls attached, with the numerals '30.
The ring resembles it greatly. The pins
are $3.50; the rings are $5.00.
Paul Tischer ls the chairman of the
committee.
"Whereby, whereas, and whereforth,
do I now resolve and solemnly swear
to reform myself and—," J. Don paused
for breath.
"O-o-oh!"
"Whoopee," Ella Jane Murtz exclaimed. "And I suggest you start on your
taste for knickers!"
-W-w-why I thought you were a perfect Greek god as you are," Carter Johnson gasped in open mouthed astonishment.
"Well," J. Don began, "I'm not conceited—I don't THINK. I'm half as perfect as I AM. Which induces me to reform myself and—."
"You don't need to reform yourself,"
Edna Swetlaud whispered, "You're the
image of—."
"The Gargoyle!"
"That was entirely uncalled for," Ella
Jane retorted.
"Thanks for your moral, mental, and
physical support." J. Don wiped his ear.
"Now to continue my sentence, as I was
interrupted before. I actually mean to
reform myself and—."
"Marcia Morrison?" Carter Johnson
suggested.
"You're canned!" J. Don shouted.
"That's one of those romances that
started In grade school and flourished
in high school," Edna Swetland informed.
I "No," corrected Carter, "It's the re-
1 suit of too many letters this kind of wea-
*ther!"
"How do you know?" Ella Jane looked
i wisely upon the promising freshman.
"I think the beginning of my resolve
is here, although I had thought of starting on the Senate," J. Don spoke sorrow-
i fully.
I "Starting what?"
' "My resolve—to reform myself and
! OTHERS."
"Others!"
I "Others—I knew there was a catch in
i it," Carter sighed.
| "Cheer up. and be a good boy, en-
! couraged the dignified president of the
j Senate. "Maybe I'll make you chairman
j of the Senate committee on love notes."
{ Notice, various Carrs, Englekings,
Crings: Beware of the content of your
I notes.
